Great write up Mike.
Been in love with the FF for some time now. Your wrist shot with the sailcloth strap - perfection!

Continue to wear it in good health!

Hi, very nice watch. What is the distance from lug to lug in mm? More than 52mm???
Thank you in advance,
Regards

I was seriously considering the RG version but wanted something with a bracelet option and it's not offered on a gold bracelet. Otherwise I'd be all over it.

excellent review for a GORGEOUS watch...

top of my list....

classik · 2 February 2013, 03:15 AM

I'm considering buying one. Does this sit larger than say a Panerai submersible 44mm?

The Panerai sub is much thicker and can flop a little. The BP is wider and somewhat more stable.

kilyung · 10 February 2013, 01:41 AM

It's been getting regular use and just keeps getting sexier.

aeon888 · 28 August 2013, 05:35 AM

Beautiful watch. now if only they take away that date window then I will surely be saving up for this watch.

kilyung · 28 August 2013, 07:54 AM

The date's not that obvious.

dysondiver · 28 August 2013, 08:02 AM

great review , thankyou

1st amg · 28 August 2013, 10:57 PM

The FF has been on my want list for sometime , it is stunning. Could you provide a pic with a suit? It might be the fuel to my fire I my need! Love it to death. Enjoy in good health.

asadtiger · 29 August 2013, 05:49 PM

what a beautiful watch

flumazenil · 14 December 2016, 04:34 AM

Nice watch. Has it been reliable? I'm thinking about getting one.

FTE2014 · 15 December 2016, 06:14 PM

Great Pics!

Canine64 · 15 December 2016, 11:13 PM

The biggest con with this watch is resale value. I couldn't give it away when I decided to sell. Ended up selling the FF on sailcloth for $5500. Lesson here: if you want one, buy pre-worn.

I'd pick one of these up for $5500 if I could find someone local / near an AD to verify authenticity...

zama · 24 April 2017, 08:58 PM

Love it I am seriously considering a Bathyscape I like its under the radar looks. It will be that or a JLC (Second hand), you cannot fault a Rolex Sub but they are just so common and I have owned one before, I am looking for something a little more special.
